"Despite
repeated assertions on the part of leaders in all sectors about the importance of addressing the dropout situation, the problem today is more acute than ever. Recent reports indicate that nationally about one-third of all students who enter high school do not graduate on time if ever. Some 2,500 students leave high school every day."
Suzanne W. Morse, President Pew Partnership for Civic Change

Why USHYEE is important to you? USHYEE has helped me plan for my future by helping me set short and long term goals in my

my last four years at Dulaney High School I have been involved a lot in many different activities. Most of the activities
I have been involved with are sports related. I was on the Junior Varsity and Varsity soccer teams, the Tennis team, Cross

_____________________________________________________________ NEWS FOR PARENTS OMHS and DHS Host Their First USHYEE Parent
Nights of the Semester Tuesday
and Wednesday of this past week marked the first parent nights of the year at Dulaney High School and Owings Mills High School,
respectively. Parents and students gathered to hear important information about college from USHYEE’s program leaders
and teacher sponsors (Dulaney High School’s teacher sponsor is Mrs. Audlin, and Owings Mills High School’s teacher
sponsor is Mrs. Caffyn). USHYEE students were also present at the meetings to share their experiences with USHYEE thus
far, and how USHYEE is helping them shape their future. Mr. Luis Borunda, Founder/President/CEO of USHYEE, opened the evenings with the teacher sponsors and the USHYEE staff.
The first presentation featured information for high school students about how to successfully navigate the road to graduation.
The second presentation by USHYEE's own Program Manager, Jessica Mendoza, showed high school students the importance of financial
aid and over-viewed the college application process. The final presentation showcased a detailed explanation of the grading
system and the EdLine software program, which gives students, teachers and parents a forum to access grade and GPA information
in a paperless format. The meeting closed with a Q & A session, where parents and students could ask the USHYEE staff
and teacher sponsors any questions they had about the education system or process, and also one-on-one demonstrations of how
to use the school’s EdLine program. More USHYEE Parent Nights are being planned! Click here for the high schools and dates! Please plan on attending. We will be awarding students for their achievements.
